Unbreakable - Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - Netflix

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is an American web television sitcom created
by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, starring Ellie Kemper in the title role,
that has streamed on Netflix since March 6, 2015. Originally set for a
13-episode first season on NBC for spring 2015, the show was sold to
Netflix and given a two-season order. The series follows 29-year-old
Kimmy Schmidt (Kemper) as she adjusts to life in New York City after her
rescue from a doomsday cult in the fictional town of Durnsville,
Indiana, where she and three other women were held by Reverend Richard
Wayne Gary Wayne (Jon Hamm) for 15 years. Determined to be seen as
something other than a victim and armed only with a positive attitude,
Kimmy decides to restart her life by moving to New York City, where she
quickly befriends her street-wise landlady Lillian Kaushtupper (Carol
Kane), finds a roommate in struggling actor Titus Andromedon (Tituss
Burgess), and gains a job as a nanny for the melancholy and out-of-touch
socialite Jacqueline Voorhees (Jane Krakowski). Since its premiere, the
show has received critical acclaim, with critic Scott Meslow calling it
“the first great sitcom of the streaming era”. The series has been
nominated for 16 Primetime Emmy Awards, including three nominations for
Outstanding Comedy Series. On June 13, 2017, the show was renewed for a
fourth season, with the first 6 episodes premiering on May 30, 2018. The
second half is expected to debut January 25, 2019. The fourth season
will be the final of the series.

Unbreakable - Production and development - Netflix

The show was created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock when NBC executives
asked them to develop a show for Ellie Kemper. Fey stated that they
found an “innocence” about Kemper's face, but also noted there was a
“strength” to it. One idea was for the show to center on Kemper's
character waking up from a coma, but this idea was abandoned in favor of
the cult-survivor storyline. The show was initially under development
for NBC under the title Tooken. However, this was later changed to the
current title. Eventually NBC sold the series to Netflix. Fey has stated
that this was in part due to NBC “not feeling confident about watching
comedies”. Prior to the network switch, NBC planned to air the series as
either a mid-season replacement or as a summer series.
